Please watch the following video, along with the 27 videos following it (labeled "Entry #1" - "Entry #26). These videos culminate in a horror experience which is super creepy:

You can use the following wiki to navigate through some of the footage and to help understand the over-arching narrative of the "slender man," a modern mythic creature:

The reason I'm offering these things for you all to look at is because i think that both materials can be used in fruitful ways in the classroom. The entire film, which isn't that long, is fictional, and is done by students (film students). They've obviously used this modern mythical creature of the "slender man" to create an original narrative on film. This is something which students could easily do as a larger unit project with something they've learned about in class.

The second thing is a wiki, which we've looked at in our class as a possible tool to use for the classroom. It organizes a lot of information concerning the film project, but also a lot of information surrounding the film. It does what a wiki should do: informs the public with information on a particular topic. this would be a great second part to the aforementioned class film project.

I hope this was useful to you all!
